Railroad Land Matters.

Washington Special
Acting Land Commissioner Stockslager has
promulgated the orders of the Secretary Of the
Interior restoring to the public domain the
lands embraced in indemnity Withdrawals for
the Northern Pacific railroad. The restored
land aggregates 10000 600 acres, exclusive of
j, 900, 900 acres embraced in Indian reservations
which were, therefore, not included in the with
drawals. The lands affected by the restoration

Crookston. Duluth. Fergus Falls st. Cloud, and
'faylor's Falls districts in Minnesota, $50 acres

has been advised of the decision of the United
States District Court for Colorado Judge Hal
lett, two against the Denver 81 Rio
stance Of the Land Department for trespass in
cutting timber m.scelia neousy on public lands.
The court sustaips the rulings OF the Commits
sioner and Secretary Of the Interior in holding
that timber authorized TO be cut for railroad
construction purposes can only be taken from
lands adiacenr to the line of the road. Judge
Hallett defines the term lands acjacent to the
line OF said road" used in the statute, being
such lands only are within such distance
from the line of the road az may be reached By
otherwise" The burden Of proof to show that
timber cut for railroad construction purposes is
used for those purposes is upon the company
and not upon the United States. Judgment was
recommended in favor of the United States in
the two suits mentioned for $40. 600. Upwards
of 81, 600, 900 embraced in other similar suits
now pending against the Northern Pacific Rail
road Company and other corporations.

Origin of "Chauvinism."

Count of Paris, mentioned in the cable dis
patches, recalls incident of the life and times
of the first Napoleon. The guards of the
fallen Emperor disbanded in
the year 1915 grenadier named Nicho-
las Chauvin became noted for his fanatical dis
plays of attachment to the prisoner of St
Helena These exhibitions very popular
with many old soldiers who mad in sympathy
followed the fortunes of their chief, and who
since his exile, took the name of Chauvin and
continued TO laud his martial deeds. The name
came to mean in France a blind adherence to a
cause chieftain that had passed away beyond
hope OF return resurrection. The application
and party will be seen to be pointed, and may
be- taken as expressive of the drift of French
political opinion with reference to monarchicaI
managers and movements in the life of the re-
